New Features Android Immersive Mode Voyager on Android looks much, much better now. The Android status bar and navigation bars are now transparent which makes dialogs especially look significantly ...

A handjob is still a job, okay?
I still have to reply to your email from before I left....
my bad. i will this weekend
Now i'll just nap for 3 days haha
Thanks!
It was a good time, and greatly needed.
lol naw, server shouldn't be going unless something terrible happens.
back from vacation
Just completed a 450mi bike tour. Sorry the site went offline, tried to fix an issue with the mobile version through my phone and it took the whole thing down. Whoops.
I didn't take my laptop, couldn't afford to carry the extra weight with the vapes I took lol.
TM2 is ❤️
Hitting the TM2 to relax and pause while thinking about how to fix this so I can ebike the 300 miles back home..
What’s your favorite vape for fixing fucked up problems?
Part of the bikepacking crew
Couldn’t bring everything I wanted to because it was like 500lbs of stuff.
Two of these will run/charge directly from my eBike though (since it’s got a 12v DC system), so they were obvious choices to keep when cutting weight.
Voyager updated and other things
New Features Android Immersive Mode Voyager on Android looks much, much better now. The Android status bar and navigation bars are now transparent which makes dialogs especially look significantly ...
Updated Voyager to 1.8.0 since that was just released (linked)
Expanded the volume for lemmy by 100GB
Cleaned up old snapshots of VMs, created new baselines.
Scripting and posting shit on Gitea.
New VM for Lemmy w/ separate VMs for Redis and PostgreSQL are just about done. Same with MediaCMS, Pixelfed, and Invidious.
I was also smart enough this time to remember and make snapshots along the way so I don't have to start over if something goes completely wacko.
Documentation, configs, etc
This repo will contain documentation and sanitized configuration files used by BeyondCombustion
Finally started putting some things up on the Gitea for the server config.
Started by adding the docker-compose.yml files for two of the lemmy-ui alternatives that are running now.
mlmym, Voyager, and others don't seem to have docker-compose.yml files on their project pages yet, so I'll fork and properly PR those later this afternoon.
Voyager (formerly wefwef) frontend for BeyondCombustion.net
Voyager is a beautiful mobile web client for Lemmy. Enjoy a seamless experience browsing the fediverse.

ya know, it would have probably helped had I had that box checked for that account.....
fml.
It's checked now though lmao.
The bot picked up and re-posted everything off of the sub's RSS feed. It wasn't checking what type of post it was unfortunately.
The bot was to get some content on here, hopefully to get followers that were human and would contribute new-human posted posts.
I'm thinking maybe it could be cleaned up and made more specific in what it does, and could also run on a schedule instead of 24/7. That could make it more usable for bringing in content and driving new stuff from not-bots over time as lemmy keeps growing....
ya, it's just getting them spun up and actually messing with the admin side is time consuming.
Plus keeping this updated, I locked myself out once whoops.
Neeeeeed to wrap up the things that are all 90% this weekend and get them to 100% though. bleh.
lol hell yeah
What’s “the straw method”?
I haven’t tried it much more yet. Literally just cleaned it from that original combustion 😂
The Frya was delivered today too, haven’t tried it yet either 🤣
I want to do video reviews of them and host that myself. Had mediacms working yesterday evening, but couldn’t customize it how I wanted so I trashed the VM. Probably going back to it though because peertube is a pain to configure comparatively.
Was able to snag 5 more public IP address when I put the second server into the Colo. can’t do too much about the url at this point, but the additional new IPs could make setting a couple other things up easier than it’s been with ngnix proxy manager.

I like the Starry, def has some improvements over the v3. Little air vent slider on the Starry is neat, it's a solid device overall just like the v3. The Mambo I still need to clean after that initial combustion, that's tainted everything since.
I'll have more pics/vids of them up this weekend. Now that 2nd server is in the rack at the data center, and it's got a couple more drives in it I was setting up Pixelfed for images and either MediaCMS or PeerTube for somewhere to upload videos prior to posting. Lemmy and Pict-rs chokes on the images from my phone without converting/downsizing them and it's annoying as shit.
Here's the link for those curious, since we don't have the same shitty rules as reddit

It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million

Fixed.
Sorry that took a couple hours.
Just noticed old.beyondcombuston.net was down
Will fix that once I get back from the colo. The docker container wants a reboot for whatever reason, and there's some updates to that front-end pending.
XVape Mambo pics
Combusted on the first bowl w/o capsule, so I need to clean it and keep using it for a bit to give good feedback on this thing. In the meantime, here's an unboxing and a couple pics.
Posting multiple pics, let alone videos here sucks. I'm going over to put the 2nd server in the colo this afternoon and hopefully fix that.
Mambo and Starry v4 just arrived. Now to wait for them to charge.
lmao, literally offered you all the same thing.
on better hardware, in a more secure environment.
Didn't get a response.
Hellll yeah! Brand new OG Mighty just arrived
Soooo stoked.
Now I can setup an RMA for the USB C on the other one being janked up.
Aaron is no longer considered as cofounder by reddit. He fought for free speech.
Looks super interesting. Another one of those devices that might be good for a trip. Multi-use, less stuff to carry.
Gonna have to try it.
I ain't got nothin better to do so might as well run a server forever
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
its simple and i like it
Just got around to watching this. Love your fuck around and find out attitude! Fuck instagram for not knowing quality content.
Fasttech.com TOTALLY would have sold the vibrator soldering vape lmao.
Although I won't be making any sex toys out of my vapes.... I'm wiring some of them up to an DIY ebike before heading out on a 400+ mile 9 day trip in ~2 weeks, a DIY ebike that I haven't finished yet..... I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with them (or even the bike really), but I've got a GoPro, knock-off GoPro, and a drone that'll be capturing the trip with. As well as all the dabs and ball vapes hit along the way.
That part of the image has this link in it https://www.canorml.org/vaporizers/
In that article, the first link to "Study: Vaporizers Deliver Safe, Reliable Doses Of Cannabinoids" works and so do the links it references if you want to go down a rabbit hole. It'll prob explain better somewhere along the way than most people could.
but the second link "Laboratory studies by California NORML and MAPS" goes to a dead page.
you should see how many of these big servers were (and still are) running their instances as 'root'...
I specifically stopped trying to grow my instance to focus on security and sysadmin back-end administrative infrastructure.
ya lol
every so often i'll go at it with a mr clean eraser and some ISO to get it lookin new again.
As long as I dump it out at the end of the sesh when it's still hot the oven stays "clean enough".
In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.
The table is sticky as hell, but I can vape here…
🙏🏼 love this place. Also have to give it up for the boring, yet effective, and efficient workhorse of the vape world; the Mighty.
umm, idk what to post. here's this?

Hope you all have a dank weekend :-)
VAS hit hard today
To prep for my bike trip, and have some new shit to post about here along the way, I let VAS get me a little today. It'll give me another thing to make videos/pics of too.
Pretty excited to try the Mambo! It looks like a neat little entry level vape.
The Tomcat head seems interesting/weight saving if just using herb but wanting to change up bowl style while traveling.
Mighty will let me send my USB C + Mighty in for service, then I'll have two when it's fixed mwahaha.
Then finally the Starry v4 cause the v3 was pretty dope imo, and I was already ordering the
mlmym - old.reddit-ish front end for Lemmy servers (including this one)
https://old.beyondcombustion.net/c/vaporents exists as of yesterday. (expect it to be intermittent for now)
I get a 400 error when signing in, the primary instance is rejecting the "old" one's hostname. That'll get sorted out though.
BeyondCombustion.net Updates - 7.27.2023
Was messing with the docker earlier, took it down for a sec then got busy and forgot about it for a bit.
My bad.
Anywhoo.... Lemmy 0.18.3 seems to be nearing release. Just updated the server to lemmy-ui: 0.18.3-rc.5 and lemmy: 0.18.3-rc.4
I'm going to migrate this instance to a couple new/individual VMs over the next week or so (hopefully) so it can scale better/improve uptime. This one that lemmy is running on currently pisses me off because docker has the zfs overlay enabled. It's harshing my mellow making me think disk space is lower than it actually is.
I also want to get the redarc VM accessible (the reddit archives) finally. I need to go over to the colo to unfuck the iDrac on the current before going on vacation. I was going to take more drives to the current server.... but fuck that. I'll take another R720xd over w/48TB and add it to the rack w/the R730xd. Needs done anyways, no time like the present i guess.
Gitea is back online. The VM's virtual disk filled up QUICK be
